@petergyang Create your own skill and avoid cookie cutter

All ways have a design system even its basic, pain in the ass to change hard coded values, easy to update token based etc. Taste can be achieved by establishin constraints as parameters to work within. context on intended audience/user helps, what exists brands/ experiences similarly reflect what you want to achieve

How do I make sure my Claude Design / pencil(dot)dev / etc has taste when it designs stuff. 1. Is there some design skill file I can use? 2. Should I always get it to create a design system first? Designers reading this tweet you can roll your eyes but then give me some tips :)

Struggling to use all these AI as a voice entry mode. Talking in public and doing it at home alone, both have me questioning my sanity. This is coming from someone thats not that self-conscious. @neuralink, when can I talk to my computer without exercising my vocal cords at any kind of amplitude

I literally provided the reason, and a map, of the interconnect for downtown Vancouver, the TRUNK carrier line for THE WHOLE COUNTRY to Asia runs out of downtown Vancouver. I literally showed a photo of an existing data center in Downtown Vancouver that exists, and has for 20+ years, bothering nobody, every single large-ish city *in the world* has data centers downtown already. I am an expert in this subject, I was on the founding team and the head of strategy at one of the largest cloud providers in the world. Here is a data center the size of a city block in the middle of Manhattan. Having personally racked servers inside it, I can assure you the traffic and tourists outside are considerably louder and causes considerably more issues for the community than a building full of computers.

Word for the day : Goofus. The likely origin of the word Doofus .

@aakashgupta Bigger Reason: If the port was at the front, the lead would become a point of failure if you use it while plugged in.

Let me explain exactly why Apple ships the Magic Mouse charging port on the bottom, because no one seems to get it. This is not an oversight. Apple has shipped this exact design since 2015. They updated the mouse in October 2024 to USB-C and kept the port on the bottom anyway. They actively block the mouse from working when it receives power, which kills every third-party case that tries to move the port to the side. Apple watcher John Gruber has said Apple designers tried front-port versions and rejected all of them because every one looked worse. Ten years of memes. A decade of competitor mockery. An entire cottage industry of accessory makers trying to fix this. Apple held the line on every single attempt. The reason is the entire Apple thesis. Every other hardware company asks "is it usable?" Apple asks "is anything visible that I wouldn't put on a museum shelf?" When usability and visibility collide, they hide the usability. iMac power button on the back since 1998. Headphone jack deleted in 2016. Every port stripped from the MacBook Pro for five years before they admitted defeat. Touch Bar replaced function keys for a cleaner look and died after five years. The Magic Mouse is the purest version of the discipline. The cost is a few minutes of charging downtime every couple of months. The benefit is the mouse looks beautiful 100% of the time it is in your hand. Apple ran that trade in 2015 and has refused every chance to renegotiate it. Run the math on what this aesthetic discipline buys them. Apple sells a $99 mouse that has to be flipped on its back to charge. Logitech sells better mice for $40 with the port in the right place. Apple is worth $4.3 trillion. Logitech is worth $15 billion. A 280x gap on the same category of product. The trade was never even close.

For local councillors and members of parliament, as well as being a born citizen of the country. IQ minimums should be set - 115–125 range is generally an accepted norm for management level. The government should not be populated by people with insufficient cognitive ability to make balanced decisions that may run counter to their biases.

Foreign nationals should not be permitted to stand for election, and a Restore Britain Government would ban it. Reform's Bangladeshi man lost in Portsmouth, but others succeeded. An Indian was elected to the Scottish Parliament, even without a permanent visa to stay in the UK. This is wrong - they should not be allowed to stand. Our position is very straightforward. British elections for British people.

@pmarca Anyone who worked in digital in late 90’s early 00’s just knows. Last two decades i worked at places full of physical bloatware. Office politics is 90% of the work. Vile.

For the record, I've been saying this for years...

i need a new one, time for a trip to Korea

James Dyson on founder led sales: "Selling goes with manufacturing as wheels do with a bicycle." "Products do not walk off shelves and into people's homes. And when a product is entirely new, the art of selling is needed to explain it. What it is. How it works. Why you might need and want it." Dyson was taught this by his mentor when Dyson was just 21 years old: "I told him I don't know how to sell things." And he said, "Look, you're the engineer. You've chosen every square inch of that product. Everything. You know it all. That means you're the best person to sell it." That was an interesting sort revelation for me because I'd always thought these were separate professions. Sales was one profession, engineering was another, manufacturing was another, and being a manager was another. And suddenly this entrepreneur was saying to me, "Well, look, you're an engineer and designer. You know all about the product, make it, and then go and sell it."

@hubermanlab I’ve been on ozempic for nearly 2 years to combat diabetes (t2) and a mc4r gene mutation. Havent felt this good for at least 20 years, i eat protein heavy meals and excercise alot. This doesnt corrolate with my experience at all !

I don’t know if GLP meds make people less excited and motivated overall. We need more data on that (and I haven’t tried them so can’t say) but one thing is for sure: GLP meds make people very excited about GLP meds. Side effect seems to be inclined to evangelize about GLPs.

🚨 Scientists just built a refrigerator with NO compressor and NO refrigerant gas. Just electricity. Using a multilayer ceramic capacitor, researchers created a solid-state cooling system that changes temperature when an electric field is applied. The result: • ~3–4.5 K cooling swings • works across room temperature • survives >10 MILLION cycles • no moving parts • projected 70–90% Carnot efficiency This is electrocaloric cooling and it may become one of the biggest threats to conventional refrigeration in decades. Older materials only worked ABOVE room temperature and needed a brutal 42-day annealing process. This new PST–PMW material: • cools down to ~230 K • avoids the expensive anneal • handles massive electric fields • maintains strong entropy transitions The physics is beautiful. An electric field reorganizes the material’s internal dipole structure, reshaping entropy inside the lattice and producing a real temperature drop. Not “cold generation.” Controlled entropy engineering. If this scales: • silent refrigerators • ultra-efficient chip cooling • vibration-free scientific systems • wearable thermal control • next-gen EV cooling We may be watching refrigeration evolve from mechanical compression… to programmable matter. Follow me if you want the future of physics before it hits mainstream.

@stevelauda_ Nope - no good for native apps

Who is actually using Claude Design? Anyone?

Designers browsing font foundries knowing full well they'll just end up using Inter.

This week, Mostly, I will be VibeCADing

@claudeai @ClaudeDevs not availble for me in the fusion 360 app store - happy to test it if you need a tester ! I use claude code and fusion 360

With the Autodesk Fusion connector, designers and engineers can create and modify 3D models through conversation.

Claude now connects to the tools creative professionals already use. With the new Blender connector, you can debug a scene, build new tools, or batch-apply changes across every object, directly from Claude.

@ClaudeDevs, model updates in Claude code need a lot of love. Perhaps the new model should audit your project/s and come up with a plan to better structure things, with some tips based on past behaviour, so the user knows how to adapt.

A black fungus feeds on radiation in Chernobyl. In the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl’s Reactor 4, scientists found an extraordinary black fungus, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, thriving in one of Earth’s most toxic environments. Rather than merely enduring radiation, this fungus seems to harness it through radiosynthesis—a process akin to photosynthesis but driven by gamma radiation, converting it into chemical energy. It’s among the rare organisms capable of this feat. Even more remarkable, when tested on the International Space Station, the fungus flourished, forming a biofilm that blocked up to 84% of cosmic radiation, hinting at its potential as a living radiation shield for astronauts. With radiation posing a major hurdle for deep-space missions to Mars and beyond, this self-regenerating biological layer could revolutionize spacecraft design by replacing heavy, bulky shielding. On Earth, researchers are exploring its use in bioremediation to detoxify radioactive sites too hazardous for humans, potentially transforming nuclear disaster recovery. As one scientist put it, “It’s like nature crafted a biological radiation shield.” From Chernobyl’s ruins to space, this humble fungus could help humanity thrive in the universe’s harshest environments.

awesome !

on using claudes Opus 4.7. V's 4.6: Medium is fine for simple UI changes. If you are doing anything architectural, high is a must. I introduced so many errors by not using high. It also broke my planning method. With 4.6, I used to plan, and it would break down the plan into linear tickets in priority and just use that to execute off. Now it keeps spitting out the plan every time I complete a task, which is a pain in the ass and a waste of tokens ( especially on big plans). Tried it for a while, but find it cumbersome. Currently fixing.
